Point System

I need a standalone PHP/MYSQL based point system for my present sites, as well as, future sites. Users may sign up for an account and earn, win or purchase points to use as a form of payment for other sites. Generally speaking, it will be similar to PayPal System or Dopays script minus the ability to cash out/withdraw funds.

I am more concerned with the functionality rather than looks, as long as I can modify the front end via HTML or CSS. In short, invest your time and skill on functionality not color schemes and layout. Furthermore, I do not require virgin code written from scratch, so if you are able to modify a pre-written script or cut and paste snippets, I am fine with that. Again, I am primarily concerned with functionality. If it does the job--if it is a dependable script, I will be happy. I can also do without certain options and open to your recommendations.

Script developer will be granted exclusive rights to legally resell script as they wish and retain 100% of profits in exchange for some technical support from time to time. Additionally, I anticipate the need for modifications/improvements to this script in the near future. (I will compensate you for any additional work done). I have minimal PHP knowledge, but enough understanding to setup MYSQL and install the script myself if accompanied with basic instructions.

--User Functions--

User sign up and login Functions:

-Users can signup for points account by submitting only their email and chosen password

-- Point System + Blog Hoster Clone w/ Additional Features --Basically, I would like a clone of Blog Hoster with additional features; and integrated with the point system. I have outlined additions/tweaks to the Blog Hosting system based on the Admin & User Panels of “Blog Hoster” (See bloghoster.net).

-- Increased Budget + Bonus --Likewise, project budget has been increased to $600 + Bonus. After the project is complete, I would like to negotiate the bonus with the developer. The bonus may be additional projects, cash or both; whatever is agreed. Additionally, I am upgrading my project to a Featured Project so that you will not have to pay any commissions to elance.com.

-- General Overview & Examples --Primarily, the integrated system will allow users to purchase points, space, weblogs, private messages, and other digital based products. Secondly, users may earn points, communicate with each other via private messaging, private chats and blogs; and transact with each other using the points as a currency. I have provided several scripts, representing certain aspects that I like:

-- Functionality Over Looks --As stated before, I am more concerned with the functionality rather than looks, as long as I can modify the front end via HTML or CSS. In short, invest your time and skill on functionality not color schemes and layout. Furthermore, I do not require virgin code written from scratch, so if you are able to modify a pre-written script or cut and paste snippets, I am fine with that. Again, I am primarily concerned with functionality. If it does the job--if it is a dependable script, I will be happy. I can also do without certain options and open to your recommendations.

-- Exclusive Resell Rights --Script developer will be granted exclusive rights to legally resell script as they wish and retain 100% of profits in exchange for some technical support from time to time. Additionally, I anticipate the need for modifications/improvements to this script in the near future. (I will compensate you for any additional work done).

-- Installation --I have minimal PHP knowledge, but enough understanding to setup MYSQL and install the script myself if accompanied with basic instructions.

Blog Hoster Clone with Additions

***Additional Admin Options***I have listed additions by the same hierarchy as shown in the Blog Hoster Admin Panel Layout.

Note:It is important that the Private Messaging system is capable of sending notifications of new messages to traditional email addresses. This allows users to send private messages to others who may not be members or part of the blog community. Non-Members will basically receive an email with a link. They can click the link, view the message and reply.-------------------------

* The Following Sub Sections DO NOT exist, please add them with respective options-------------------------

* Allow Online Visibility Modes Sub Section--* Enable/Disable “Who Can See Me Online?” (Friends, Registered, Everybody)** Everyone can see me ** Only registered users can see me ** Only friends can see me (available only if the friends feature is enabled) ** Nobody can see me------------------------

* Allow Commerce Sub Section--* Enable/Disable Weblog Subscriptions ** Set Max Points that can be charged** Set Product Visibility Permissions*** Everyone can see *** Only registered users can see *** Only User’s friends can see (available only if the friends feature is enabled) *** Let User Choose

* Enable/Disable Donations ** Specify Max Points that can be donated** Set Donation Visibility Permissions*** Everyone can see *** Only registered users can see *** Only User’s friends can see (available only if the friends feature is enabled) *** Let User Choose------------------------

* Miscellaneous Sub Section--* Enable/Disable “User Can Close Account”**This option will show up under User’s “Upgrade” Section--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Weblog Options Section--I would like to create Default Weblog Types which can be assigned to specific User Groups. For example, I would like to create a Weblog Type and name it “Favorite Books”. I would then customize the Entry Form (Book Title, Author, Publication Year, Genre, etc.). Finally, I would assign the Weblog Type to User Groups. Now everyone in those User Groups will see a “Favorite Books” Weblog listed in their account.

Furthermore, I would like to add fields to the Entry Form of the Custom Default Weblog and determine if the custom fields are “searchable” or “not searchable” (Refer to Profile Options/Custom Profile Fields Sub Section).

***Additional User Options***I have listed additions by the sections shown in the User Panel.

- My Blogs Section--

Note: When user logs in, they are presented the “My Blogs” section. This section displays the Blogs they have created, Who’s Online and Recently updated Blogs. In my opinion, this section should serve as a summary of the entire account displaying the overall status of the user’s account. The Blogs list should be categorized by Default Blogs (Weblogs created by the Admin that cannot be deleted or changed), Free Blogs and Paid Blogs (Weblogs that user has created and charge points or accept donations from viewers). User should also be able see their points account balance, sales stats, account type, and import/export critical data. If you feel that this can be achieved by simply adjusting the template, let me know and I will take of it.

Note:User will see prices per MB, Messages and Weblog. User will enter the amount of the product or products they would like to purchase. They may pay with Credit Card or points. System will add the amounts purchased to their account.
